Our nephew was married on June 22, 2002 — practically in the midst of the enormous forest fires raging in the White Mountains of Arizona. Still, many of our family were able to get there for the happy occasion, and I took the opportunity to make this little (22 1/2″ square) wall hanging as a memento and to welcome our new niece-in-law to the family. This was the first time I’d printed a photo onto fabric myself (the ones previous to this were all done professionally), and it was really fun to see the results! I was told that the couple is using green, tans and browns in their new home, so the colors of the quilt were chosen with that in mind. This piece was machine pieced and machine quilted, with very simple straight-line quilting. It was finished on July 6, 2002.
